Hi All,
I'm new to this forum and I was hoping for some advice. I have had a surge in anxiety in the past week and I can't shake it. My fiance's car was hit by a drunk driver and we were forced to purchase a new vehicle. As soon as I left the dealership I was in a panic about if I made the right choice and that I could have gotten a better loan and on and on and on. I typically research and obsess over decisions like this so he left it up to me to make the decision. I was waking up with jolts of panic all night long. No matter what happens or if I made some wrong choices, I know it will be okay but I can't stop the panic. The thing that infuriates me the most is that I know I can't change it but I can't stop obsessing. There has been a lot of traumatic loss in my life this year, specifically that my fiance lost his brother to suicide(ptsd) about 4 hours after we asked him to be the best man in our wedding. I thought I was coping with this relatively well and I'm trying to be a strong support system for my fiance but I'm assuming this has something to do with it. Fiance is trying but is battling bouts of depression and anxiety which I think is weighing on me. I feel like I have been so useless since I have been overcome with anxiety everything even remotely stressful (wedding, car) makes me want to collapse. Thanks for listening. I just thought it would help to get it out.
